Back to the "gym"!

My basement gym, that is!
After a week of working on the shed and busy weekends, I finally got in a lifting session this morning.  It felt great.  It was a higher rep session.  It never ceases to amaze me how different a low rep session differs from a high-rep session.  I definitely felt "the burn" today.  It's not just changing the weights, it's also a mental difference.  I came close to hitting a lot of the 30 seconds rests.  I see "30 seconds" as a goal, but not a very attainable one.  It simply takes longer than that to get from exercise to exercise and record my progress in my log.  My heartrate didn't get really high, but I still burned in the neighborhood of 550 calories in around an hour.
